David Letterman Gossip

Did you watch Natalie Portman on Letterman last night? I actually wasn’t intending to watch it, but I saw pap photos of Jay Pharoah arriving at the studio and I set the PVR to make sure to catch him, and then when Jacek and I turned it on later, there she was as the first guest, and that kicked off 15 minutes of co-jerking between him and Dave, the two of them sharing hard-ons through the television.

But she has great new hair. LOVE the new hair. And all the ways she was wearing the new hair. Punches up the layers, makes her eyes look different. Very, very beautiful. Kristen Stewart was in New York last night to promote Twilight Eclipse on Letterman and then for the NYC premiere. Two similar dresses. Full Story

It was the most wonderfully awkward interview. Dave does that thing he’s so good at doing – he mocks her but also adores her, and he doesn’t understand her, but he really isn’t trying either, and as a result, her amazingness was allowed to flourish for us all. This is good tv. Full Story

And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next. Maximus is back. Only this time he’s called Robin Hood. And the film opens on May 14th. Full Story

RDJ left Letterman with his ubiquitous lunch box yesterday. I know it’s not really a lunch box but I like calling it one. Sounds better than his “camera case in which he stores his vitamins which is not a euphemism for drugs, he really does take a lot of vitamins”. See? Lunch box. As usual, he was great on Letterman last night. Full Story

Iron Man 2 drops in 10 days. Robert Downey Jr will be everywhere. Win win win for everyone. He calls it “selling soap”. Tonight RDJ will be on Letterman. And he’s always great on Letterman.

Jennifer Lopez is hustling for The Back-up Plan. Last night it was a visit to Letterman. In a really great black coat. She was also photographed out and about New York in a shorter belted one.

Only he can get away with it. No one tells Letterman what he can or cannot ask about. And while guests won’t always answer, he will always try. And be charming and funny about it. Which is what it was like last night when Kate Hudson appeared on his show and he deliberately steered the conversation towards ARod and the Yankees. Full Story

Jon Hamm at Letterman last night... Sigh… Dreamy, right? Hamm taped an interview that will air on Friday which is only around month away…from the Mad Men season 3 finale. F-ck. Why am I a downer? This is the downside of the cable tv series. There are so few episodes. We are forced to endure over 20 Ghost Whisperer sh-ts a year and a mere 13 with Don Draper. Full Story
